At one point in this play, one character urges another to scream "meaningless shit" like "Red trains cough Jewish underwear for keeps!" In college, the protagonist thought he was Baudelaire, and a woman guesses that his name is "Morris the Hyena" after introducing herself as "Lena the Hyena."

For 10 points, identify this one-act play about the encounter between the white woman Lula and the middle-class black man Clay, which was written by LeRoi Jones just before he became Amiri Baraka.
